Chilli Beef Taco Lasagne
Chilli Beef Taco Lasagne gives butchers a bold, high-impact product that stands out on the counter and drives strong customer interest. It combines the comfort of a traditional lasagne with the punchy, street-food flavours customers recognise from tacos and chilli beef. The result is a raw, oven-ready layered dish that looks impressive, portions cleanly, and delivers serious flavour after cooking.
Quality minced beef forms the base of this product and carries the flavour throughout every layer. Verstegen Binding DS helps the mince bind firmly, improving structure, sliceability, and finished yield. This allows butchers to portion the product with confidence while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Verstegen World Spice Blend Mexican brings a balanced spice profile with warmth, mild heat, and subtle smokiness. It enhances the beef rather than overpowering it.
Verstegen Chilli Con Carne Sauce adds richness, moisture, and colour to the filling. It keeps the product juicy during cooking and ensures a consistent eating experience from edge to centre. For customers who enjoy extra heat, Verstegen Sambal Oelek can lift the spice level while keeping the flavour sharp and authentic. Using tortillas instead of pasta sheets gives the product a modern twist and strengthens the Tex-Mex identity.
The topping delivers strong visual appeal at the point of sale. Verstegen Gratin Sauce creates a creamy, golden finish that bakes evenly and enhances perceived value. Verstegen Sliceable Nacho provides clear cheese definition through the layers and melts smoothly during cooking. A final garnish of Verstegen Decoration France adds colour contrast and a premium finish that catches the shopper’s eye.
Chilli Beef Taco Lasagne suits tray or foil formats and works well as a slice-and-sell product. It offers clear flavour cues, strong shelf presence, and excellent versatility. For butchers, it delivers a profitable, on-trend meal solution built on trusted Verstegen ingredients.
